I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
Kido san’s younger sister was born and his father was killed in an accident shortly thereafter.
This led to Kido san’s mother becoming busy working to take care of the family.
Therefore, Kido san was mainly responsible for taking care of her younger sister. It seems that her younger sister was also very attached to her older sister who took care of her.
“So why should Tsumugi san be hated by her sister?”
Matsuyuki san, who seems to have finally freed herself from her anger, asks me the question I had in mind.
“It’s…….”
Kido san clammed up.
The reason why her sister hated me. It seemed to be something that was very difficult to talk about.
I was not rushing into the conversation, but waited patiently for Kido san to open her mouth.
“It all started…..when my mother remarried.”
When Kido san was in the eighth grade, she had a new father.
He was a handsome and kind man. Her younger sister, who had just entered elementary school, seemed to be immediately attached to such a stepfather, partly because she had never known her real father’s face.
Her stepfather also adored her little sister, who spoiled her. They were so close that a stranger might mistake them for a real father and daughter……
“But that was just him putting on a mask…….”
Kido san’s eyes become stern.
It was the first time I saw it. It would be no exaggeration to say that she was so full of hatred that it was hard to believe that she was so kind and clumsy.
Kido san continues speaking as if venting her pain.
“That day…..there was only my younger sister at home. My mother was late getting home from work, and I came home as early as I could so that my sister wouldn’t be lonely……”
It was about six months after her stepfather arrived.
When Kido san came home, she found her sister and…..her stepfather’s shoes.
Because her mother’s job is working from home, she had never been home alone with her sister and stepfather until now.
Wanting to see her face as soon as possible, Kido san searched for her sister.
She was not in the living room or kitchen, nor was she in the bathroom. When Kido san wondered where she was, he heard a noise from upstairs.
Realizing that she was probably in her room, Kido san went up the stairs.
She was dimly aware that his stepfather was also out of sight, but she didn’t think too much of it at the time.
“When I entered my sister’s room…..I saw that guy naked assaulting…..my sister…..!”
What Kido san saw at that time was a situation that even I, who was only listening to the story, frowned.
Her sister was still very young, and her stepfather, completely naked, was riding on top of her. A girl of her age would have been scared to death and unable to move.
However, Kido san was not like most girls.
She kicked her stepfather, who was trying to do something bad to her sister, without mercy.
From that point on, her memory seemed to be hazy. When Kido san came to, all she could remember was her stepfather passed out in a heap, and the feeling of something crushed on the bottom of her foot.
“My mother believed in me…. She divorced him right away, but my sister was scared of me…..”
Her younger sister did not understand why Kido san kicked her stepfather to the curb.
Her stepfather probably took advantage of the fact that she was so young and was able to talk her out of it. Even in the face of a naked man, she defended the attacker, saying, [We were just playing.]
I guess the fact that she could say that means that the worst was averted, thanks to Kido san.
“I was desperate…..but I had to protect my sister, and that was it…….”
No matter how much she tried to explain, her sister didn’t understand. Apparently, she loved her stepfather so much that she gradually began to blame her sister for the divorce.
……I don’t know why she doesn’t get rewarded for it.
“I… I was hated so much… She wouldn’t talk to me, she wouldn’t even look at me…”
After a lifetime of being ignored by her beloved sister, Kido san was unsure if what she had done was really right.
Just because of the way things were, her mother and stepfather reached a settlement and divorced. He made a promise to stay away from her sister.
“I didn’t call the police at that time. I thought it was to avoid making a case for my sister, but I started to think that it was really to prevent me from getting caught because I had gone too far……”
This is self-defense, of course.
Still, it’s true that she hurt people. It also seemed to be a traumatic experience for her.
“So I asked my mother to let me live alone……. My sister hates me and…..I was worried that she would turn me in to the police…….”
Kido san’s mother said that she told her that her sister would understand when she got older.
Until then, she thought it would be in the sisters’ best interest to keep their distance. After much thought, she gave her permission.
“Today……I got a call that my sister had a fever…… I was worried, so I asked my mother if I could go visit her…..and it seems my sister heard that……”
Kido san’s voice was laced with tears.
“She told me over the phone, [Don’t ever come]…….’”
Kido san couldn’t hold it in and let a tear drop out.
“…….”
So that’s why Kido san was crying during her lunch break.
This is a very heavy story. She was going through hardships that I couldn’t even imagine.
I couldn’t say anything to comfort her.
“……Hiro kun?”
Even so, I strongly felt that I must not let Kido san be alone.
My chest is hot. I unconsciously put strength into my fists.
I was sitting up with the impulse.
“……!?”
I didn’t have a thought. I just realized that I was hugging Kido san.
“You did your best….Kido san did a great job.”
I can feel the area around my chest getting hot and wet.
She fought to protect her sister.
I’m sure a smart person might be able to successfully rescue their sister in a way that they haven’t thought of yet without being disliked.
But how many junior high school girls would be able to move when they see their sister suddenly attacked by a man?
There may be people who say that it is wrong to solve any problem with violence. I could not help but respect Kido sab for putting her body on the line to save her precious sister.
“I don’t blame you, Kido san. You did your best to protect your sister. I respect you, Kido san. I really admire you. You did your best.”
While rubbing Kido san’s back, I tried every word I could think of.
I knew I wasn’t smart enough. I didn’t know what to say at a time like this.
Even so, I didn’t just shut up.
I’m sure that Kido san must have summoned up a lot of courage to talk about this.
I think she did it because she believed in us as friends.
If that is the case, my intention will not change. I will continue to stand by Kido san’s side. That was the one thing I wanted to be unwavering about.
“Uuuuuuuuuh. Senpai…..Yazawa senpai…..”
Kido san put her hands behind my back and sobbed like a child.
Maybe she hasn’t been able to tell anyone until now.
If she talk about it, it will cause trouble for her sister. She could only keep it to herself.
“It’s all right…..it’s all right…… It’s not Kido san’s fault. Even your sister will realize it when she gets older.”
I feel ashamed of myself for not being able to help even a little.
Like Kido san’s mother, I can only hope that time will solve the problem.
All I can do is to never become an enemy. All I can do is promise that I will definitely continue to be on Kido san’s side.
I kept telling her this until she stopped crying.
